Letters Patent No. 110,286, dated December 20, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN cHAMBER-vEssELs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

1lb all whom it may concern Be, it known that I, VERNON RHODES, of Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and improved Chamber-Vessel and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, .and exact description of the same, reference vbeing had to the accompanying drawing making a part of this specitication, in which- `Figure l is a view in perspective, and

Figure 2 isal vertical section. i Y f Thisinvention relates to an improvement in chamber-pots for the sick-roon1,and consists in dividing them into' two separate compartments for the purpose f separating theuriue from the feces, in order that it may be inspected by physicians.

In the drawinga'is the chamber, and 1 b, the partition, which separates it into two compartments.

The partition may divide it equally or unequally. It will be obvious that, by the use of'this invent-ion in the sick-room, the physician will be enabled to exarnine the discharged fecal matter' and urine separately, and thereby, iu a majority of cases, to trace the cause of the complaint of his patient,a result which is unattainable by the use of the ordinary chambervessel.

Having thus described my invention, p What I elaim'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is o As a new article of manufacture, the chamber-vessel a., provided with the partition'b, substantially as described.

VERNON RHODES.
